MLB Report - Friday

Below is a MLB opinion that was not quite strong enough to be an official Best Bet, but it still presents value and is worth a look this evening.

CHICAGO CUBS -120 (action) – 7:10 pm ET #953

We had an easy 11-1 winner on St. Louis last night as the Cardinals were looking to avoid a rare three-game home sweep and dominated the Cubs as expected. That embarrassing loss should re-focus Chicago with a motivated effort tonight.

This battle of right-hander (Bronson Arroyo) versus left-hander (Rich Hill) also benefits the Cubs as Chicago has been stronger on the road versus RHP this season as they average 4.6 runs per game and bat .281 versus RHP, compared to just 3.7 runs and .231 versus LHP.

Meanwhile, the Reds are struggling at home against southpaws and have averaged just 4.5 runs per nine-innings and hit only .232 versus LHP, compared to 5.5 runs and .274 at home versus RHP.
